Thank you jjss49. The Conrad Johnson looks like an interesting option. Funny you mention the Herron as I was looking at one yesterday. I've never heard one and the lack of reviews makes me a tad nervous.
@georghifi, i read that you want to have a minimum of a 10x different between your preamp output impedance and your amps input impedance. My current Freya+ has a 600ohm impedance in bridged configuration. The 7.5kohms of the Brystons exceed that but I'm sure it's far from optimal. Would you recommend trying to at or under 100ohm for the preamp?
@adg101, I completely agree. I priced out the 20.7's had my current listening room would accommodate a speaker of that size but I'm contemplating a move in the next six months and don't want to commit to a speaker of that size and investment until I know where I'm going to be long term. In the meantime, I thought I could start upgrading the rest of the chain and when I do settle down I'll be able to get the most out of the upgraded speakers.
Thank you Verdantaudio. I'll give the AVM PA5.2 a close look. Appreciate the information and will certainly reach out with any questions.
Thank you all.
Mike
